I'm talking about degree of difficulty while at the same time getting the job done. Bird went all the way with lesser talent against greater competition.

Any of Birds championship teams would have been able to make short work of the 2011 Mavs or the 2012 Thunder. Could you honestly say the same about Lebron's Heat vs. 81 Rockets/Sixers, 84 Lakers, or 86 Rockets? Bird never had a finals performance as bad as Lebron in 2011 or 2007, yet Lebron has never had as good a finals performance as Bird has against much greater opponents.

Bird: 1986 Finals MVP: 24 ppg, 9.7 rpg, 9.5 apg (basically a tripple double) against a very solid Hakeem Olajuwon led Huston Rockets team that beat out the Showtime Lakers in the WCF.

Lebron 2012 Finals MVP: 28.6 ppg, 10.2 rpg, 7.4 apg, 1.6 spg against a very green OKC team with a top 5 and a top 15-20 player at his side.

Even when Bird lost in the finals twice to the Showtime Lakers, he never played as bad as Lebron did in the 2011 finals or the 2007 finals. Bird won his first title in his second year in the league against a great Moses Malone lead Rockets team, averaging 15 ppg, 15 rpg, 7 apg and 2.3 spg, so don't give me crap about how Lebron was young when he played in the 2007 finals.

See this is wat i admire about you LAKERfiens

First off nobody made excuses on BRON being too ''young'' in 2007 Finals, he made it same yr(4) in his career KOBE made it to his first one

and how come you and others alike can use the KOBE being too ''young'' when he entered draft and on a stacked squad to justify his backupguard role?
